Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

As a neighbor and enemy of LA Ermor, I agree on waiting to find a sub. I hate major wars against AIs.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

This is very unfortunate. I think we may be approaching the point of waiting for a sub so long it causes other people to drop out of the game...

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

you said he lost his pretender right? that means that there is no difference even if you set him to AI. So I vote for Ai whenever people are ready to get the game going.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I'm less averse to setting LA ermor to AI in particular anyway because, in my experience, that is the nation the AI plays the best hands down. Still sucks compared to a sub, though.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

This is true. Honestly if it comes down to set one nation AI vs. find subs for multiple nations, I'd rather that we set the one nation to AI.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Yeah, I think he should be set AI, we're not going to find a sub and it's just holding up the game.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Hi!

I gladly take a look on LA Ermor, im playing with the idea of subbing in. I dont consider myself a noob, I just got into the hall of fame with 4 mp victories, but i have zero experience with LA Ermor.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Well I'd be fine with it, but I'm not fighting Ermor in game. :)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I'm fine with it

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Ok, it seems we've got a sub, and having someone more skilled playing ermor is something I find amusing. If ermor sweeps the lands with bones and death, that'd be pretty awesome. Anyway, emailing gandalf to restart the timer.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Greetings everyone!

As the new field marshal of this crumbling empire, I ask u to shed light on diplomatic agreements involving my precedessor. Since our god has been banished and we have no contact with it, could any of you - who have seen him/her/it - how it looked like? just to help us recognize him in case we find him again.

very nice nice map, i have never played on it!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

The ermor god was a lord of the gates with either 4 or 6 in 4 paths.. air, fire, death.. and something else?

And as far as I know, all your land fairing neighbors hate you, and probably the ones at sea too.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Welcome to our game!
I indeed confirm that I hate you. Too many bakemono villages, once filled with love, happiness and joyful children, are but dust and desolation because of you.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

they would have died anyway. now they have died as happy families, before growing bored of each other, or getting divorced, quarelling all day etc...

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Greetings, and welcome to our game.I wish you good luck in defending yourself against the hungry vultures.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

"hungry vultures"?

O Lord of the Druids, I respectfully beg your pardon. We are defending ourselves against a source of evil that kills us even if not attacking with conventional armies - and actually Man was indeed invaded by the undead horde. In return, we get desolated wasteland.

It is easy to sympathize with the Late-Ermorian Abomination from a distance. But rejoice that some brave nations take the burden to fight it off, as otherwise even distance, eventually, will not protect you from all the evil magic it can release on our world. Just ask your aged druids how they would fency living under Burden of Time?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Actually, thats a good point. Kill the Undead menace!!!

(you know that when you are not involved in a conflict you usually support the underdog. But yea the Burden of Time point was very persuasive:))

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

That is exactly the same use of words as in every war be it agression or plain conquest: the enemy is "evil", and we are just "defending" ourselves (just like the usa in iraq or the crusades in the middle ages).

I wonder who is having invasion armies in whose provinces...

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

The crusades were simply taking back old Byzantine provinces for Christianity (the proper Catholic version... not that heretic Orthodox nonsense). If you really want to go into the "who took whose" land in the middle east you can go back a very long ways without really solving anything.

At the end of the day, might makes right. If you blanket the world with undead, who is going to tell you that you were too aggressive?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

im not sure what u are talking about.

and i fail to see why orthodox christianity is more (or less) nonsense than catholicism. altho i know them both for some (enough) extent.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

maybe it is because i have only played PBEM before, but none of my commands got executed this turn. do i have to send my turn somehow? i assumed i just have to plan them, then press "e". am i missing something?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Hmmm well you need to connect to the server and then press end turn,
what else you can do is to connect to the server,So that the game downloads the recent turn, then play your turn not online and then log back in so that it can update your turn.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

We've been experiencing this bug a few times in this game. A few people got nailed toward the start, I had it happen a few turns ago, and now you I guess. :doh:

No idea as to the cause. Did it give you any weird messages? When this bug happens, there's a message about an outdated turn file or something.

Btw, two astral windows? Voyeurs!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

i didnt receive odd messages. i think i did my turn right tho. Poor Ermor, Fate isnt on its side this time.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Christians were there before muslims. Jews were there before either. Pagans were there before anyone else. Who really cares?

Orthodox Christianity was getting overrun at this point, so clearly they were heretics, which was why they were losing (God wasn't on their side). In this game though you are on your own side! So clearly the true one is going to be the victor!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

The numenoreans were here before all of them, and denethor is their descendant. Bow down before the steward of gondor!

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Mauxe hasn't logged in for 8 days, and I think he staled last turn :(

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

anyone has any information on his situation? Sub him out?(although its a bit daft people leave like that without notice)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I think when the game stalls out waiting for a sub for a week.. or more.. like we did, some people completely lose interest and stop checking the forums. I was worried about this.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I'm checking : )

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

So what do we do about this game? I didn't see any sub threads.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I have a bad habit of waiting half a day or a day after deciding to sub someone out in the desperate hope that they'll magically reappear. Sub thread up now.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I really don't like this pattern of long sub request waits resulting in someone else disappearing. Yet caelum can't possibly be set to AI, I'm not sure if there's any nation the AI does worse with. I don't really have an acceptable solution, and I guess I'm merely stating the obvious problem, but ugh. This sucks.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

zzzz well, we can still hope that someone will get interested into it.

I'm just stating the obvious aswell

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

as much as i'd like to horribly murder all the wardens with wailing ladies,I can take over caelum instead to avoid furher staling, and hand ermor to the AI.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

yea thats not too bad of an idea.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Ok, that sounds good. Does caelum have a password?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

we will need someone who doesnt play this game to send in the last turn of ermor then.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

no.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I will take over caelum then. Please inform me in PM about diplomatic agreements.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I have been asked to turn LA ermor AI, I will be doing so

Edit: it is done.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I loaned you 1000 astral gems that caelum promptly converted to earth gems and alchemized, so you can pay me back whenever

I'll have gandalf AI ermor.. if that is possible, I think it is?

edit: Oh, finalgenesis is doing it. Welp, already sent the email asking along with the timer restart, so I guess we're good one way or another.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I asked FG who was kind to help. turn resloved, we are good to go.

im changing my empires like shoes. :)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

is there a way to get an email notice about turn resolution?

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Not that I know of, but you can check the status of custom games here.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

You should talk to Gandalf, he can probably work something out for you.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Again, one of my armies ordered to move did not do so; actually it decided to patrol instead :doh:

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

i bet there was a fort in that province, wasnt there? There is a known bug, if two armies were to collide, sometimes neither of them moves and they patrol instead.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

Actually there was no fort. But this may well be this bug.

In this game I really feel like a real ruler encountering communication problems with the front line... frustrating but somehow "nice" once I role-play it ;)

Still I hope it will not happen anymore neither to me nor to anyone else in the game

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game
 

I wish I understood why this game in particular is being so buggy.
